The Division of Adolescent & Young Adult Medicine at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital (DCH) , Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU), seeks a full-time faculty member at the assistant or associate professor level.

This new clinic supports an enhanced interdisciplinary team, consisting of dedicated social workers, nutritionists, and nursing staff, working closely with our medical faculty. We are also a clinical site for the OHSU Collaborative Care Model which offers mental health care and case management directly within our clinic.

About Portland and Oregon
https://www.travelportland.com
Portland is a vibrant city nestled among green woods and waterways, as the Willamette River crosses through town. Only 90 minutes from the spectacular Oregon coast or towering Mount Hood, Portland offers the rare accessibility of snow-to-surf. The local culture celebrates individuality, and Portland embraces cyclists, hikers, brewpubs, dogs, climbers, artisan coffee shops, book readers, foodies, professional soccer and basketball fans, award-winning wineries, concertgoers and paddle boarders. It’s no wonder Portland consistently ranks as one of America’s favorite lifestyle cities.
